Vegan Pasta Salad
This colourful Italian pasta salad is a fantastic vegan dinner option. It combines rotini pasta with a medley of fresh vegetables including broccoli, tomatoes, and olives. The distinctive flavour comes from diced dill pickles and a dressing made with vegan mayonnaise, pickle juice, and both fresh and dried dill. After mixing, the salad is chilled to allow the flavours to meld beautifully, resulting in a refreshing and satisfying dish.
